I am pre op as well and so nervous. I am going for my operation on August 23rd..... I am so scared and I am thinking of backing out. I wish you the best and please keep me informed on how the surgery goes and how you are doing. I pray that all goes well and God is on your side all the way!!!

I had my endoscopy on 9/1 and it was not as bad as I thought it would be. The doctor gave me pictures of my stomach. I have to go to the nutritionist and then I will wait for my insurance to approve it and I too will be banded!!! please share more of the pre op experience with me.

I don't have a solution to your problem but I must say Keep up the good work!!!! congratulations!!!!

Don't give up!!! Look for another Dr..... this BMI is crazy either it is too low for the surgery and NOW it can be too high? Don't give up because you can NEVER give up on YOU!!!! I don't have the band yet and don't know when because I have seen everyone but the Nutritionist........ I know that when I go to my appointment I will pray before going in. I am going to pray for you as well.... Sometimes strength does not come from inside.... It comes from a greater power and I will pray that the great one touches your spirit and gives you hope!!

Cardio is the key to your stomach going down...... Some people have weak muscles in their stomach and it is HARD as heck to get these muscles to behave. I have had three personal trainers and they all say the same thing!!! Don't give up!

I am a beginning lap bander/ pre op. I am full of many questions. I have started going to all of the Doctors so that I can be cleared and receive a date for the Lap Band surgery. I still wonder if this is the right decision or have I given up on myself and my ability to lose weight. Okay..... Just being real---- I have given up on my ability to lose weight on my own. I hope someone on Lap band Talk can tell me some good news/ bad news any news about how they feel about the surgery.
